Fire Protection for
Commercial and IT Buildings

Server rooms, multi-tenant floors and the systems your business runs on. We design, install and maintain detection that finds a problem early and suppression that does not take the building offline to deal with it.

Industry overview

Fire Safety for Offices, Data Centres and IT Facilities

A commercial building has two jobs to do at once. It has to get people out safely, which is what the alarm system is for. And it has to keep running, which is a different problem entirely — because the response to a small fire in a server room can take you offline longer than the fire would have.

That is why these buildings end up with layers. An addressable alarm system across the whole building for life safety. Air-sampling detection in the rooms that matter, because it finds smoke long before a ceiling device would. Clean-agent suppression where water would do more harm than good. And leak detection, because water is what actually takes most data rooms out.

We work across office buildings and business parks, data centres and server rooms, multi-tenant and managed workspaces, and IT and BPO facilities.

Risk profile

Key Fire and Safety Considerations

The six points we look at most closely when we survey a commercial or IT building.

Server rooms where water is not an option

A sprinkler discharge over live hardware costs you the equipment, the data and the downtime all at once.

Many people, many floors

Getting everybody out of a multi-tenant building depends on an alarm that tells each floor the right thing at the right time.

UPS, battery and plant rooms

Concentrated electrical load in small rooms, usually behind a door nobody opens from one week to the next.

Risers and shafts

Vertical routes that carry fire and smoke between floors faster than anything else in the building.

Water under the floor

Chilled water, condensate and roof leaks take out more data rooms than fire does, and nobody sees it until the hardware does.

Downtime

For most of these businesses the hours offline are the loss. Early warning is cheap against that.

Applications by area

Protection by Facility Area

These are the things we weigh up in each area.

Server rooms and data halls

Air-sampling detection for very early warning, clean-agent suppression so the room is usable afterwards, and in-rack systems where the risk sits inside the cabinet.

UPS and battery rooms

Detection close to the batteries, suppression that suits the chemistry, and separation from the hardware they feed.

Office floors

Addressable alarm, detection and sounders, zoned so an alarm tells people on each floor what to do.

Risers and shafts

Detection in the vertical routes, because that is how smoke gets to the floors above.

Under raised floors

Leak detection cable where water would reach the hardware long before anyone noticed.

Basements and car parks

Beam or linear heat detection across a space that is large, open and usually full of vehicles.

Our clients

Clients We Protect in This Sector

Our expertise

Our Areas of Expertise

The parts of a commercial project that need the most care, and how we handle them.

Detection sized to the space

Air-sampling detection set for very early warning in rooms where a ceiling device would be far too late, and addressable detection everywhere else.

Suppression that suits the risk

Clean agent sized to the room as measured, in-rack systems for cabinets, and sprinklers for the general building.

Protection inside the panel

In-panel detection and suppression, so an electrical fault is dealt with in the enclosure instead of becoming a building fire.

Handover you can actually use

Drawings, zone plans, cause-and-effect and test records, written so your team and your insurer can both read them.

Upgrades to what is already there

Extending or replacing what is already in the building, including systems we did not install, once we have checked the panel has the capacity.

Keeping it working afterwards

Scheduled servicing and testing under an AMC, with a record of every visit and the same engineers coming back.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Call +91 88795 33000

What is the right detection for a server room?

Air-sampling, almost always. It continuously draws air out of the room and tests it, so it registers smoke at a point where a ceiling detector would still be waiting. In a room with forced air flow that difference is very large.

Can a gas system be used in an occupied office?

Clean agent systems are designed to be safe for people at the concentration they hold, but there is still a discharge, an alarm and an evacuation procedure. In practice they go in the rooms that are normally unoccupied — server rooms, UPS rooms, archives — and the office floors are covered by alarm and sprinklers.

Do we need protection inside the racks as well as in the room?

It depends on what is in them. A room system deals with a fire once it is in the room; an in-rack system deals with it inside the cabinet, which is where it starts. For high-value or high-density racks it is worth having both.

What about water leaks?

Worth taking as seriously as fire in a data room. Leak detection cable under the floor and around chilled water pipework will tell you about a leak while it is still a leak, which is usually long before anybody would otherwise notice.

Can you install while we keep operating?

Usually, yes. The work is phased around your hours, area by area. If a short shutdown is genuinely unavoidable we tell you at design stage so you can plan for it, rather than you finding out on the day.

Can we extend what we already have instead of replacing it?

Often you can. It depends on the panel you have, whether it has spare capacity and whether the equipment is still supported by its manufacturer. We check that on site before we propose anything, and we will say plainly if extending it is the wrong call.

What does a site assessment involve?

An engineer comes out, walks the site with you and looks at each area. You get a written view of where the gaps are and what we would recommend, with the reasoning behind it. There is no charge and no obligation.
